US Tour 98
You should really upgrade to browser that supports Frames. But, my page should work without frame support.
Welcome to my US Tour 98 Web Page. These are some of the pictures. It took use over 9,000 miles and two weeks
journey across the United States. In the process, I managed to take eight rolls of film. I selected the best
pictures to put on this web page. Even though I selected a subset of pictures, I still had a lot of pictures
to scan. To reduce the download time and the amount of space I take on my web page, I had to compressed
the pictures heavily. So, please forgive the poor image quality of my scans.
Some Interesting Statistics
- Total Distance = 8841.7 miles
- Gas Used = 325.948
- Miles/Gallon = 26.2. In a Buick Regal, not bad.
- Highest Point = 12,000, Rocky Mountain National Park
- Lowest Point = -200, Death Valley National Park
- Number of States Visited = 21. They are Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada,
Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, and Iowa.
- Number of National Parks, Monuments, and Recreational Areas = 12. They are Mount Rushmore Nation Monument,
Devil's Tower National Monument, Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, Olympic National Park,
Readwood National Park, Death Valley National Park, Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Grand Canyon
National Park, Zion National Park, Arches National Park, and Rocky Mountain National Park.
Two weeks is not really enough time see all of the US. If I ever do it again, I am going to spend more time in
the Southwest and in Yellowstone. I really would have like to gone hiking in the Grand Canyon.
Enjoy the pictures.
